I'm going to be in China in less than two days now. Kind of freaking out, both in a good and a bad way.

On the bright side, I heard LJ is unblocked so I should be able to keep up with stuff here, more or less.

Mostly I just don't know what I'm going to do for fourteen hours on the airplane. Sleep and read and watch movies, probably. I'll have my laptop, but the battery runs out pretty quickly on it. (Surprising, considering it's fairly new.) And I don't really wanna take it out on the airplane anyways.

In a moment of intelligence, the tickets that were booked were two window seats. I don't really like window seats that much. I hate airplanes, actually. I don't like flying. It's noisy and the air pressure changes always give me a headache.

I'm going to seriously miss America and its comforts. I will try to remember that I was the one that asked to go to China when I'm miserable and it's over 100 degrees out and humid and overall sucky.

... But yeah, I'm also excited. It'll be a good trip. :)b

I finished Lux-Pain. Good ending, only the 'necessary' people had to die. Hooraaaah! P: Probably not going to replay it for some time because I'm not really in the mood (haven't been sleeping well lately, school's a drag, exams are in a few weeks, SAT Chem is in a few weeks too...) but I enjoyed it. Really, I did.


... Man, I feel like writing fanfiction.

( here, have some pairiiings. )

So, I bought Lux-Pain yesterday. Used. Somebody didn't like the game very much (three save files with only twenty minutes on each and nothing in the archives).

I'm currently in the middle Episode 02. I am already beginning to get a little freaked out as to what this game might entail. It's... kind of a good and bad freaked out. I think that's kind of a good thing, though, because if I wasn't freaked out by the idea of mass murder, group suicides, sadastic animal cruelty, and etc., I would be disturbed at my own apathy towards such things. But if they start showing corpses and mutilated animals, I anticipate a certain level of 'as;ldofkjansdf OH MY oh my GOD I am really really FREAKING OUT right now' to occur. P:

To be honest, I got edgy during 00. I was afraid that some psycho would pop out of nowhere or that some corpse would just, like, fall on top of Atsuki or something. Oh god.

Next, I will echo several complaints on this game that I've seen so far: The voice acting and translations? Yeah, they don't really match up at points. It's kind of lulzy in places, actually, but considering this is supposed to be a serious game, it detracts from it. I'm also not really enthusiastic about some of the voice acting. At least Atsuki's voice fits, or I would be sitting there agonizing over how he just doesn't sound right for twenty-plus hours as I played the game.

I think I see some typecasting going on already. I'm hoping it doesn't end up with stereotypes running all over the place and with all the predictable people breaking. Though judging from the spoilers I read it seems like pretty much everybody breaks, lol. I'm pretty sure Yayoi is suicidal and the teacher -- Yamoto, I think his name was -- has to have a SILENT. And I have an edgy feeling about Shinji, too. The only characters I don't really feel will be particularly affected are Nami, Rui, and strangely enough, Ryo.

Initially I thought that Liu Yee was fishy as all hell too but I am quickly gaining faith in him. I think it's ironic he's the only Chinese one considering they're always talking about the Shanghai Incident or whatever it's called.

The gameplay is easy enough, though it took me a while to realize I could use the top screen to find worms instead of blindly using 'search' over and over again. Hopefully this will not change throughout the game or I'm seriously screwed over. I also have yet to encounter a SILENT, but from the way it's described in the pamphlet it should be easy enough. In other news, please pick one translation and stick with it, oh god -- Ethers? Worms? Shinen? Are these all different words for the same thing?!

And just to state the obvious: Atsuki/Everybody = canon so freaking hard, canon canon canon.

I am also a bit nervous that missing some scenes will cause an eventual game-over that can't be avoided. I know I already missed one: 02, in the Art Room, during lunch... probably with Yayoi. Ggg. Hoping that this doesn't kill the game in one go because I didn't make any spare save files and I don't want to play through the two episodes again.


All in all, I think I will enjoy it for its plot. Then again, I enjoyed Rondo of Swords for its plot, so that doesn't say much. P:

I dunno why I did this. I should be working, really. Eheh. ♥ Don't judge me on my playlist, you guys...! Haha.

CHALLENGE:
1. Pick a character, pairing, or fandom you like.
2. Turn your music player on and turn it on random/shuffle.
3. Write a drabblet/ficlet related to each song that plays. You only have the time frame of the song to finish the drabble; you start when the song starts, and stop when it's over. No lingering afterward! No matter how whacked out your drabble is.
4. Do ten of these, then post them.

END-NOTES: ( blah blah blah explaining stuff here. )

So, don't think I mentioned this, but I'm in D.C. right now for spring break.



... Because I am secretly still eight on the inside, I have made plans to go to the spy museum. The only lasting memory I have of it is going inside the fake ventilation system pretending to spying on the Cuban government.

I'm so cool.

)':

I dunno. I just... feel kind of bad, but a little relieved at the same time.

I've been busy like woah lately, and I have a feeling it won't really... stop being that way until second semester senior year. Which is a long time from now. So... I am not sure why I try to keep up with formal role plays anymore, as it generally results in me eventually fizzling out either way. :/

Momentary pieces of happiness, I suppose.

( I think life is taken best slowly and surely. )



Weather's been cold lately. Eheh. Sorry for not really keeping track of my lj recently. Idk, I just haven't been much in the mood.

How's life, guys?

Happy Holidays! I'm a bit late, but it's the thought that counts, right?

Anyways, since I totally missed a Christmas post, I'll beat everybody to the punch and start my New Year's Resolutions post!! Haha.

( here they aaaaare. )

Reading over these, I have come to the conclusion that I am a petty bitch. = . = ;;

FINALLY, YOU PIECE OF CRAP.

... Writing fanfic: I cannot do it. :|

Also if you're reading this you might as well click on the link and read my Hetalia fanfiction. I mean, let's face it: I have an ego and it needs to be inflated from time to time.

I - It's been such a nice break; I don't want to return to school.

In other news... I'm kind of sort of in the middle of starting to write an original short story. It's just that I couldn't quiiiite fit the idea into fanfiction, so. Original story. It's probably going to end up being weird and... weird.

( &♥plot, baby. that's what's up. )

... And since I just read Katekyo Hitman Reborn! 220: FRAN. I will gladly accept you as replacement for Mammon if you keep having these glooooorious interactions with Belphegor. ♥

So, usually I don't put writing here just because I like being organized and that's what rotafortuna is supposed to be for. Anyways, the reason I am is because this is the first time I've ever done a spontaneous writing thing. I'm not really limiting myself, except that when I can't think of anything else to write I'll just stop. Which will, of course, lead to choppiness beyond belief.

one. the emptiness that winter hides in.
( fire emblem: fuuin. roy&wolt. )

tbc?

two. a message to those who will listen. or, my 'I can slash the motherland if I want to' fic, which I find to be a logical conclusion that will go over well in the motherland, I'm sure. Based more on Hetalia than on reality. ...I don't know enough about the motherland's history. or modern events either.
( axis powers hetalia. russia&china. )

afternote dammit who did I just offend; step up now and have your punch. I swear I won't even fight back. ; w ; dammit, I'm offended and I'm the one who wrote it. srsly, there is something wrong with me. Considering f-locking this entry...

three. a heart gets younger as the body ages.
( yugioh gx. johan&juudai. )

four. static electicity, or something to be played with. au.
( naruto. neji&sasuke. )



afternotes I can only write depressing things. This is fact.

First time writing Hetalia or Fuuin. Long time since I've ever written Naruto. @ ___ @ I am braindead; it is late.

Should do this again when I'm not so tired that I can't remember how to spell misspell so I can say, "Should do this again when I'm not so tired that I misspell every word... sometimes twice."

Winterims are coming up... which, naturally, means that I have a ton of tests and projects due next week. Basically, Winterims are a month where students study independently, or in arranged groups. Last year, I did Blues & Jazz which was fun except I got a B+ even though I got 100%'s on all of the tests. what can I say, I know my music theory.

I also decided to play Rondo of Swords again~ I think I beat it in under a week, which is monumental for me since it took me like a month to beat it the first time. Now I'm playing it again, and I've already beat about half of it in one afternoon. OTL & now I wish there were other people who played it. ; _ ; i want a fandom, dammit.

... Now I should go work on my model musem project so I don't fail history. ; _ ;

EDIT: I think it's been >3 hours since I made this entry. During that time, my computer has been infected with scamware, I've freaked out, restarted my computer twice (once because the computer was like 'oh whoops let's just restart now lol'), went online in a mad search for what was wrong, discovered I had scamware (disguised as AntiSpyware), flushed the scamware out, restarted my computer again and now I'm here to bitch about it.

why does life haet me so.

EDIT EDIT: since I forgot the first time. Guess what tipped me off? A grammar mistake.

... It's not even funny how great being anal-retentive about grammar can be sometimes. Really. ;w;

So, as of roughly twelve hours ago, I am now one year older. I think birthdays lost their appeal a few years back, but I still like feeling like I've somehow changed, lol. I even got the day off from school the fact that there were conferences means nothing.

I also stopped being a vegetarian today. Personal note: next time you decide not to be vegetarian, don't... eat a fairly decent portion of seafood and then some dumplings all in one go; you will regret it. :| I - I think I saved the world enough not eating animals for a year and a third/fourth-ish...? except probably not really. Anyways, I'll probably do it again when I'm in college or something.

And also

I'm in

~*~loooove~*~

not that this means anything, really

Interpret as you will. x)

Oh. Also. Seena~ I have some birthday!fic for you, kind of. Go check it out?

My birthday is next Friday. I'm getting older. Man, I feel older. Damn, I'm going to be at the age of consent (where I live, at least) finally ohohoho~ no but I've got no interest. I also feel fat now that I'm not playing tennis, which is kind of stupid considering I'm not.

I also realized today that I would be a great anime character now that I've picked Chinese up again. Not only am I ambivalent and lovable and prone to hugging people for no good reason, I now I have a foreign catchphrase! It kind of makes me feel like saying, "You guys, you guys, it's okay to be me!"

I've been reading webcomics recently. They've kind of taken over currently, so I feel like I need to be, like, Honeydew Syndrome! Go read! (to the sea)! Go read! HERO! Go read!

Anyways, Honeydew Syndrome is great if you just want some BL. Which oftentimes, I do. ♥ _ ♥ It's not a particularly original plot, in my opinion, but the characters are so real and aaaaaah the slash. (to the sea) is a lot more touching for me; kind of The Little Prince-esque. Caspian...! Scotia...! Make it to that sea, you guys. ; ~~~ ; I want it to continue~ I hope it does. & I just started reading HERO, so I have nothing to say about it yet but the art is gorgeous. It seems to be pretty deep too. ( T - too deep for me... maybe... ? )

Enough of my mindless advertising.

How are you? ♥ Yes, I know I asked already.

So I finally decided to read Shugo Chara after being interested in it for some time and omg. Tadase~~~ ♥ I think he's the first male main character I actually like~ And I think Ikuto might possibly be the first enigmatic antihero character I don't like. owo;; a - although I'd totally slash Ikuto and Tadase together. Tadase = fandom bicycle lol.

Also also.

I HATE SCHOOL.

That is all. ♥
